I rarely see cops pulling people over anymore.

This. I couldn’t tell you the last time I saw BRPD or EBRSO on a traffic stop that wasn’t one of the following:
1. A wreck.
2. A K-9 unit and/or multiple police cars, sketchy looking driver standing outside the vehicle, etc. (e.g. probably drug related).
3. At night between 11 PM-3 AM (e.g. DWI stop).

If BRPD still has a traffic enforcement division, I don’t know what the hell they are doing. Hell I haven’t even seen an inspection checkpoint in what feels like 5 years (I’m not really complaining about that one).

Presumably it’s related to a lack of officers. But it definitely feels like the public has been slowly becoming bolder and bolder over the past 2-3 years.
